Macintosh (AppleTalk)

The Print Server supports AppleTalk (EtherTalk), PAP, ATP, NBP, ZIP and DDP protocols, enabling Macintosh computers on the network to view and use the Print Server as a regular AppleTalk printer.

Normally, no configuration is required.

Software Requirement: System 9.x OS or newer.

AppleTalk Setup

1.Click the apple icon and choose Control Panel - AppleTalk.

2.Ensure that Ethernet is selected under AppleTalk Connection.

3.Click Chooser. The Chooser panel will open.

4.Click on either the LaserWriter 8 icon (recommended) or the LaserWriter 7 icon. LaserWriter 8 makes use of the fonts installed in the printer itself, so the printing response time is quicker. LaserWriter 7 uses the fonts installed in the computer, which increases network traffic and takes more printing time.

5.Choose a PostScript printer from the list.

6.Click Create and it will search PPD automatically.

7.Select a printer description from the list.

8.Click Select.

Configuration is now complete.

Printing

Printing with the Print Server installed in an AppleTalk network is identical to normal printing. Just select File - Print and choose the desired printer.

Advanced Setup and Management

In a mixed Windows computer/Macintosh environment, you can use BiAdmin to configure the Print Server. See Section 5 for details on installing and using BiAdmin. Alternatively use the Web Based Management detailed in Section 6.
